Don’t Let Bonds Scare You
Halloween brings to mind trick-or-treating, Jack-O’-Lanterns, goblins, ghosts, ghouls, witches, bats and black cats. It has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition.

Minnesota – Land of 10,000 Lakes
There is a Minnesota tourism commercial that says, “Land of 10,000 Lakes is really Minnesota-nice for 11,842 lakes.” And this number only includes lakes over 10 acres.

For example, there are 115 Long Lakes in Minnesota. Now, while this information is interesting and may even be useful if you are … [Read more...]
